The purpose of this study is to provide design guidelines on office layouts to improve workers' concentration and communication behavior while supporting work processes. Among the present office types, benzene-type was preferred the most was providing better concentration. Regarding communication, link and benzene were preferred types. In present office types, workers were satisfied in communication more than concentration. To increase concentration level, acoustical privacy was indicated as the most important factor In conclusion, to support both concentration and communication in office, the team area should be divided into smaller sub-team areas. The sub-team areas may support interaction within a group while preventing unnecessary distraction. The major circulation of work process should be formed outside of the sub-team areas to provide concentration within the groups.

오피스나 건물의 인텔리젼트화가 발달될수록 multi-vendor/multi-media화가 필연적이기 때문에 배선의 양과 종류가 방대하게 요구되고, 또한 서로 각기다른 기기배선의 관리가 불가능한 실정에 부딪혀 사무실의 레이아웃 변경과 정보통신 시스템의 이동, 확장에 따른 중복배선, 재배선으로 인한 경제적 손실과 인력 낭비 및 근무환경의 미관을 혼잡하게 만드는 등의 문제점들을 발생하고 있다.
